Hello guys
Well I have this beautiful shiny awesome flying Lancair 4p, but I cannot fly it because my AC breaker (50AMPS) trips as soon as I get airborne, taxing is not a problem, run up is ok too.
Having no AC is in Florida not really a good thing, especially now where we are having 95 with 90% humidity, so it feels like 110 or more. I was flying this afternoon, and it was like flying in a sauna, I think I lost a quarter gallon in 10 min.
We think the reason the breaker trips is that either the Compressor or the Fan or the Condenser. The AC system is the pure electric system with the newest 'purple' compressor. This AC is installed in the luggage cabin. Instead of the hole I have a naca scoop trying to catch cool air to feed the AC. After the Naca Scoop it just pressurized the part under the floor board in the luggage cabin. There is no plenum or hoses going from the Naca scoop to anywhere.
So did you had any issues and if so, what were they and how did you fixed it? (just fishing for possible other answers or ideas we already had)
Many thanks -- Ronald
